Columbia's premium line is launching. The first phase of the line will feature items inspired by the hunting styles of the 70s and 80s.

Founded in 1938 in Oregon, the United States, Columbia made a name for itself worldwide with its groundbreaking “Interchange System,” which allows for three different ways to wear a garment depending on the weather, and has since grown into a leading brand in the outdoor industry.

From *Columbia* comes the long-awaited launch of its signature collection, “CSC1938,” named after the brand’s founding year. A key feature of the collection is that, while drawing inspiration from past archives, it has been updated in various ways to suit the contemporary fashion scene and lifestyle.

For this landmark first release, the collection features a total of seven styles inspired by the hunting styles of the 1970s and 1980s, which blend traditional design with practical functionality. Among them, the “Dually Mountain Outerchange”—which incorporates the innovative concept of reversing the “Interchange System”—is an essential piece of this collection. It is a high-performance down jacket that combines 700-fill-power goose down with the brand’s proprietary ”Omni-Heat Infinity” lining and “ Omni-Shield” technology, resulting in a high-performance down jacket.

In addition, a long-sleeve T-shirt and a five-panel cap featuring an all-over print of the “British Tan Duck Camo” pattern—originally used on hunting jackets produced by Columbia in the 1980s—have been released. These items add a touch of flair to fall and winter outfits, which can often tend to be simple, and are sure to come in handy as additions to your wardrobe.
